The LM634x0-Q1 has a carefully designed pinout arrangement that provides additional clearance spacing between high-voltage pins (VIN, SW, and CBOOT) and nearby low-voltage pins (such as PGND). Moreover, the LM634x0-Q1 pinout is designed for critical automotive applications requiring functional safety system design with stricter reliability and higher durability. In terms of pin FMEA (failure mode effects analysis), the typical failure scenarios considered include short circuit to ground, short circuit to input supply (VIN), short circuit to a neighboring pin, and if a pin is left open circuit. These faults are considered as applied externally to the IC and therefore are board-level failures rather than IC-level reliability failures. Example sources of such faults are stray conductive filaments causing pin-to-pin shorts or a board manufacturing defect causing an open-circuit track.
